The latest early version of EScribe and DNA 200 firmware will give you a much smoother vape when running at the temp limit, link in my footer.

I would say it has been reading res correctly all the time, it will be more accurate than a multi metre. To get more vapour at 420 F you probably need more coil contact area, airflow and or wicking, could also be long coil legs, atty design or wire with a non standard TCR, you are probably used to vaping at 520+ F. You could try a cotton scorch test to confirm the tempreture, make a single coil, put dry cotton in and fire it at 400 F for 10 secs, move the wick along add 20 F and repeat until you get to 500 F. The 1st should not mark the cotton, the 3 3rd you should see very light brown and it should get slightly darker each time. This is the only pic I have to hand, ignore the lower one the SX M result it is way way too hot, the top one shows the sort of colour, but it started at 300 F not 400 like I suggest you try.

I don't think it is, as I said when you open the box to enter a TCR it defaults to 0.006, but this is not the value that is currently stored you need to compare the curves. Because the profiles are not a single ratio TCR they cannot convert most of them to a TCR without loosing data so they don't try, this can be confusing I know, but it is what it is. FWIW may values have never changed on the 2 DNA 75s I have.

Then if the 2nd pic is what on the mod it was not 0.006, look at the value on the right for 0.006 it is 3.440 at 800F, for the TCR you have it is 1.468 at 800 F, if my maths is right about a TCR of 0.001151.

The 2nd screen shot is not 0.006, I know the line shows 0.006 when the edit box is open, but if you cancel it reverts back to what is in that memory slot. Did you change the value to something other than 0.006 and save or if you just cancelled then the TCR on the mod wasn't 0.006.

If you are looking at the value in the box you get from Actions - TCR (Approximation) it always defaults to 0.006 as most profiles cannot be converted to a single TCR. Are the materialsall like this (TCR 0.006)?

Temp protected is an info message more than a warning IMO and I think most people spend most of their vape at that temperature so hitting it is not a reason to turn it up the device is doing what is was designed to. I don't think there are any hard and fast rules as to what temp and your liquid probably has a sweet spot, the atty and build also heavily influence it. I used to like a very warm vape, but find my liquid tastes better at lower temps, so if i can't get enough vapour at that temp I increase the contact area of the coil to wick. It doesn't always work I can't get good flavour out of a Serpent Mini without turning the temp up about 70 F. Higher temp is not better than lower temp and vice versa, it's what works for you with your set up.

The last 2 early versions of EScribe and fw, only V 1.2 SP3 is available, it is very stable and you can find it from the links in my footer. While you are testing for battery drain it may be useful for you to set one of the custom display fields to battery pack (voltage) or battery percentage.

I adjust for the best flavour, which often means keeping it low and sometimes making a coil with more contact area, now and again I may add a few degrees if I want more of a hit.

They have said that that data is not available from the charge chip in the 75 so they can't do it.

Three cell sled no prob just wire up a balance connector, with 2 cells you need to change a setting in EScribe, but again just wire up a balance connector with the two highest potential connections connected to each other.

I don't know, not got a Lava Box, but I mossed that is was a Subtank and the coils heads don't have the best connection on those I have had reasonable results with the RBA deck.

It could be whatever holds the spring at the bottom of the 510 is loose and not applying enough pressure or a poor ground connection to the 510.

To see the cell voltages on the device you can choose them as the optional fields on the screen tab in EScribe, I do that for the charging screen on my Rolo. Change materil is only on the version of EScrib you have and the early one (link in my footer), the early one has new new fw with much better ss temp limiting, different optional fields for temp and no-temp operation and other good things. Max charging current is 1 A via USB, even with the best cables I typically see 0.99X A, it will lower the current toward the end of the charge cycle. It is designed to allow you to vape while plugged into USB, it paused if you press the fire button until 5 secs after release. Max puffs is safe, max recharges is the easiest way to extend the life of you batteries, you could double their life IIRC for only 10% capacity loss, better than swapping them out before they are empty. The battery type ans number of cells settings are important, the Watt hours only makes the battery metre more accurate so don't sweat about changing that. The load CSV there loads the voltage vs capacity curve you can see on that page, not any other settings, it is independent of the capacity and poses no risk I can see other that it being wrong and needing to restore the default. I think you someone have changed the setting to 52.2 W like you say.

It works just the same, it just allows you to make one you adjust them most map directly to the up down buttons.

Spaced with all temp sensing wires, not absolutely necessary for the higher res ones, but you will have and easier time.

No the Evolv is copper or a high copper alloy gold plated, the early ones were not plated and are copper.

Try other USB cables, maybe clean the USB socket with some Isopropyl Alcohol.

You could out a low mA range fuse on it to test turbocad.

It is personal preference, looking at the power and temp while you vape in device monitor helps you see when you are at temp or max watts. With temp I would say turn it down in 10 F steps until you go too far then go back one step.

They should do, I just meant slightly different thickness. You can check with a single coil builds in an spare dripper and do a cotton scorch test, just make sure you do a consistent fire time like 10 secs.

Most likely would be different thickness, even the tension which the wire was formed under could make a difference, but it's the TCR that is important to temp limiting. Also the remain 0.04% of metals in the alloy may affect that.

You don't need to change the defaults, but it would: type: 18650 soft cell cut off: 2.75 V, you need options - user interface - manufacture to get to the settings in the latest version.

I have used quit a few, the main difference is how clean they come. Ni200 is a purity spec/grade for "Commercially Pure Nickel" that is 99.6% pure Ni so they should all be good if they are of that spec. http://continentalsteel.com/nickel-alloys/grades/ni-200-commercially-pure/
